Comments Thread For: Schaefer Explains Why Mayweather Did Not Select Khan

[Phatfarm1980]

Maidana deserved the fight over Khan. Pretty obvious really

[imjustsaying]

I'm glad to hear Floyd chose Maidana. I smell a Floyd a$$ whooping on Cinco de Mayo. I really do. Maidana would laugh at Floyd's punching power and would just disrespect him outside and inside the ring. I expect Maidana to land a lot of clean punches on Floyd unless this is another set up like the Canelo fight.

So in other words because of how everything looks on paper they decided to go with Maidana. The problem is the viewing public is going to have to watch an actual boxing match.

Considering there was only two choices, it's quite sad but yes Maidana is more deserving than Khan.

Ramadan starts at the end of June till the end of July....Khan still can fight Floyd in September....he can train when the sun goes down....he'll be cutting weight anyway.....then he have the entire month of August to sharpen up whatever the Ramadan month may have complicated.....Khan should get credible win at 147 before that though....I agree with the Swiss banker and Floyd on this....it's the game!!

American boxing, what a joke smh. With your BS P4P lists and this BS fight, I think the US is actively trying to kill all credibility that boxing has left. The only thing Floyd is number one at is taking idiots money.
Those who buy this PPV are morons. Boxing in the US is following the path of WWE when it should be trying to emulate closer to the UFC model. Floyd even performed in the WWE and clearly learned alot from it. He disrespects the UFC but would never have the balls to compete there. I wonder if Schaefer ever took his head out of Floyd's ass for 5 mins would he believe his own BS sales pitch. But its dark in there and he lives there so we will never know.
I no longer have any respect for Floyd Mayweather or any of his fans by default.
Even real champions like Andre Ward are only looking for soft touches like an alcoholic Pavlik or non en****** bar the name like Chavez Jr. Right now Golden Boy Promotions is the biggest insult to boxing fans around the world.

Yea follow the ufc????? Those fighters are getting screwed over you moron

Khan vs Broner on the under card.

[kombayn]

Floyd Mayweather vs. Marcos Maidana
Adrien Broner vs. Lucas Matthysse
Erislandy Lara vs. Ishe Smith
John Molina vs. Mickey Bey II

Book it!

The fact khan has been inactive is irrelevant, that don't harm Floyd when hes inactive. Because khan has been in the gym training even without a fight lined up, that's what Floyd essientially does.

Diaz fight was work in progress so don't take too much into that.
And the excuse that khan didn't have a signature win at 147? Well JMM didn't have a signature win at 140, let alone 147 when you cherry picked him, so contradiction all the way, never ending.

Who can say?

I can. If Amir Khan had beaten Devon Alexander and won the IBF WW title, he would have gotten the Mayweather fight. That's all he needed to do. Floyd was never going to fight him without Khan coming off some type of meaningful win.
